I'm here in NYC and I just finished shooting market week for Grace Ormonde. It was another fun week packed with great shows including the above Badgley Mischka show. I photographed 26 designers and shot over 10,000 images. My good buddy Charles Maring came out to help and it was great catching up with him. Look for "The Making of a Runway Shoot" in the next issue of Wedding Style to see shots of us in action :)

Hey Mike, doing a little travel at present, nice to see you popping up. Just booked a Xmas trip to NYC myself which made me smile.
More importantly cannot wait to meet you in Miami, I should win the prize for furthest distance travelled :-)
Anyway what lighting did you use in this image, beautiful how many flashes, etc thanks for sharing.

Beautiful shot! I too am interested in how you light for these runway shows. Please share in a future post :-)
Blessings!

ok...so i am glad that others are drooling over the lighting in this pic. I was scared I would be the only one with a puzzled look on my face...Mike you are the man! wow.

As someone who shoots fashion runways about 20 times a year - there is no "secret" to shooting runway, just line up the shot, follow the model and wait for the shot..nothing amazing or magical about what "mike" is doing as opposed to the other 40 or so shooters on the podium.
Thanks Andreas, but actually I was interested in what lighting mike made use of, availabe light, flash etc.
As you would know there are few "secrets" with Mike hence a few of us asked the question.
Looks like with 40 shooters the most important requirement is Big Elbows !
are there really secrets? or does Mike just make it seem like he is full of "secrets" that you have to pay for?
hey mike,
i saw something about this on one of the entertainment shows. i though you might be there. well now i know for sure. LOL great photo captured just at the right time.

Man!!! seeing girls in white makes me very happy!!! Looks like there is a gaffer on the set with a soft box to the model's right side and the use of available light. I was pretty awe stricken when I saw the photo for the first time. Amazing!!!!
Hey guys :) I'm pretty much using the provided runway lighting unless there is no lighting in which I'll set up a couple remote SB800s or just run my iso up and grab shots when they models walk through the lightest areas or the runway. The toughest part about it is getting a good spot to shoot from since you are competing with a dozen photographers shooting for different magazines. Camera settings usually go something like this: Using my 70-200mm AF-S VR, F2.8, 1/250 sec at 400 iso. Kelvin compensation set to 3000. Autofocus in continuous to track the models and I'm using a tripod for minimized camera shake and to keep my arms from falling off after 3 days of shooting :) Hope that helps!
